The World Turned Upside Down is a tune that was supposedly played by the Yankees after General Washington defeated a contingent of 8,000 British Redcoats at Yorktown, Virginia. Played on the fifes and drums, it doesn't really give us the same energy as, say, an AC/DC song, but then Bon Scott was not around in 1781, nor were electric guitars and amps... What about this development, though?:



Trump Attorney General Appointee Matt Gaetz!


I read it here on ZeroHedge - the comments are... I'll call them inspirational! True, he must be confirmed by the Senate, but WE HAVE WAYS! This is not 2017. Here at Peak Stupidity, I've gotten my white pill prescription refilled, off a prescription from a rogue Trumpologist I found on-line - he's down in Jamaica or somewhere...

Trump's 1st few appointments were not so awfully encouraging, but this guy Matt Gaetz will have some REAL POWER over at the Department of Justice, and he will not hesitate to use it. Congressman Gaetz, representing a part of the Florida Panhandle, and our favorite, Marjorie Taylor Greene of north Georgia, are 2 people who are most assuredly not part of the UniParty. Gaetz has even resigned from Congress early as a tactic to get another Patriot, appointed by good Governor DeSantis, into the seat, hopefully to be re-elected later. It's time to do smart things and play hardball.

The appointment of Matt Gaetz by President-elect Trump is hardball. This may be THE most important cabinet post now, when it comes to domestic "policy". Go back 50 years and, yeah, maybe there were some political shenanigans, but did the normal American have to care who is A/G? Things are far different now. The Bai Dien Administration's A/G has been Merrick Garland - The Potomac Regime's Lavrentiy Beria. (More here.) He is the epitome of evil within the Regime and the Deep State apparatus.

Merrick Garland must be tried and put into prison for treasonous acts against the US Constitution. Department of Motherland Security* head Majorkas deserves the same. There are plenty of others who have made a mockery of the Law of the Land. I'm thinking the first DOJ cabinet meeting run by Matt Gaetz ought to go something like this:



The R in Republican must stand for Retribution! (Thanks ZH commenter.) I didn't know how motivated Donald Trump would be in this 2nd term coming. He has seemed to have learned a lot - one lesson being "Don't hire Swamp Creatures to work for you to help drain the freaking swamp!" - but some of his words have not given me so much confidence. However, when it comes to the unConstitutional evil that has emanated from the enforcement arm of the Feral Government, he has been on the receiving end, multiple times, at the highest level of Banana Republican vindictiveness. So has Matt Gaetz, to a lesser degree. Yes, Trump has learned, and, yes, I think both of these men are HIGHLY MOTIVATED.

Wait, Peak Stupidity blogger, but, but,... isn't this doing what the ctrl-left has claimed Trump and his people would do? Aren't they planning on exacting revenge just as would happen in that proverbial Banana Republic if the election went their way? The rank and file of the ctrl-left had been warning... well, each other at least, that if Trump won this election there'd be political witch hunts and Political Prisoners taken and held in dungeons even. Then too, Peak Stupidity has stated that this election is like those Latin American style** ones in which the outcome really matters to the everyman, as the whole political environment changes. It's not the same as it is in a nation with a Constitution in place, it being the basic immutable Law of the Land.

The ctrl-left warned us, right? One might suppose that this has been a clever trick they have pulled with their Lyin' Press colleages. They lie about what the GOP would do for no reason other than that the latter are Fascist Nazis who have events at Madison Square Garden***. I don't attribute cleverness to these people of the left though. What they've "warned" about is pure projection, we have explained recently. To sum that up, all they can imagine to disparage the right with are behaviors they know very well. They know of these behaviors because that's how THEY behave.

After, all, it was the evil A/G Garland who's taken Political Prisoners. Justice departments of various States have conducted unConstitutional political witch hunts - Bills of Attainder anyone?**** Since it has been Trump on the receiving end of the latter, along with our good friends at VDare, you'd better believe there will be retribution.

However, the retribution to be had is not Banana Republicanism. It will be exacted, if Trump is not bullshitting this time around, that is, on those of the left who've been violating the Constitution and committing treason against the United States and its Law of the Land. It's not only long overdue, and not only righteous, but it's also the DUTY of the Trump Administration. Totalitarians must be charged for their treason against the Constitution and put away.

See, now I'm sounding like a Joy Reid or Rachael Maddow (not like I actually ever hear them). "See?!!", they'll say. The Trump Administration should ignore any of that language, as they've said it before and will again, whether due retribution is engaged in or not. This is why we will be so very glad to see Matt Gaetz becoming the Attorney General. He doesn't care about the rants out of these people, and he doesn't back down.

I really meant for this post to be more expansive, covering more of the proposed personnel to keep Trump-47 from being a frustrating repeat of Trump-45. I'll leave the reader with a quick summary (so far) from ZeroHedge: Trumpโ€™s Cabinet Picks So Far: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.*****

We won this. It's time to turn the world upside down. I'm hopeful anyway... but maybe it's just the meds kicking in ...




* This is a department that should be entirely eliminated (with it's Border Patrol and ICE orgs separated out). Were it up to Ron Paul's advice, just based on the Totalitarian name itself, it would. It's not just about the money.

** I shouldn't pick only on the poor Latin Americans. The same type of thing happens elsewhere too. Take Africa... please!

*** Of course that makes the Grateful Dead a bunch of Nazis too, many times over. Then, there was Led Zeppelin...

**** I refer here to the deal in Georgia in which the Statute of Limitations was extended just to allow a lawsuit against Trump by some old skank.

***** Hey, I've used that movie theme myself, back in '20, about Trump's policies - look under the Trump topic key.

PS-

Mr. Gaetz has withdrawn his name as of an hour ago or so. Could be someone has something pretty provable on him and has let him know known that they're willing to use it. Or it's all a planned tactical move, as Hail commented and Tim Pool theorized several days ago. Somehow I'm not very surprised about it.

Greetings, Peakers.

Given that most Americans (perhaps all of us if you count property taxes and the USAโ€™s assertion of the right to tax Americans world-wide) are debt slaves, maybe a slave is a more appropriate picture for Federal Reserve Notes. Tubman was an escaped slave, so why not Dred Scott, who though escaped from slavery, was returned to it by a SCOTUS decision ... that would be far more emblematic of our plight. ๐Ÿคก๐ŸŒŽ

PS: "It is a little odd that Andrew Jackson is on a Federal Reserve Note..." That's from that 1st Tubwoman post. Yes, I know a little history of President Jackson and the attempt at a central bank. (There's also some pretty cool letter out there, in which Jackson refuses to sign a bill to help out some group of Americans that were devastated by some sort of fire or natural disaster. The way he put it made it very clear - the US Feral Gov't is not there to dole out money, even for the best of causes. (My paraphrase there.))

Anyway, since we've unfortunately got those pieces of paper out there, as much as he'd abhor it, better Jackson, or Madison, or one of 100 other great White guys should beat out that Tubwoman, even she was a strong believer in Amendment II.

BTW, in the 2nd of those PS posts, Rex Little used the abbreviation SJW, for Social Justice Warrior, of course. It seems like that one went out of style quickly.

I think Andrew Jackson would be appalled to learn that his likeness is emblazoned on the communist central bank's paper debt instrument. Andrew Jackson, as you know, was a strong opponent of paper scrip. In 1836, Jackson issued the Specie Circular, which required all federal land purchases to be made with gold or silver, not paper money. (In harmony with the tender clause of Article 1 ยง 10.)

In 1841 Jackson wrote โ€œCongress has the express power to borrow, but not to issue bills of credit, or make a paper currencyโ€, a statement that I am very much in agreement with. Too bad the criminals masquerading as "government" don't feel the same way about abiding by the constitution or common sense. Too bad Americans (in general) are too stupid and cowardly to do anything about it.

I'm pretty sure you and I have talked about some of this before, Achmed, and some of this discussion may be under those Tubman-thumping links you posted. (I didn't check.)

If anything, they should put Jackson on a $20 gold coin.
That, makes sense.

We usually get a few nice warm(ish) days after our first cold(ish) spell in the fall, so I leave the ac in until sometime after that. And I did use the upstairs ac about a week before I pulled them, so that's about right timing wise. (Unless we have a December heat wave because of the climate emergency! or something.)

I used to have one of those penny collections, in a previous life. I'm pretty sure I left them behind and will never see them again. I do, however, still have my mercury dimes and other silver coins. Those, I didn't leave behind.

I assumed Thune might be a problem, but it dawns on me that Mr. Trump might know whoโ€™s on Epsteinโ€™s list. Either that, or Trumpโ€™s buddy Bibi, who needs him more than ever, might use AIPAC to lean on him to make the right choices.

PS: Thanks for the suggestion for that beautiful numismatic-value set, Mr. Smith. My son doesn't have 983 dollars or 49 Tubmans plus a Clinton* for this mint set, and I sure as heck ain't gonna lend him it!

He's doing pretty good, having started with a set of pennies that my brother and I had collected back in the '70s. You could still find, I don't know 5% or so wheat-stalk pennies in your change in that day.

I will need to take a window unit out too. It hasn't had to run in 2 months. Laziness for the L. It's not sealed in very well, so, yeah, pretty soon now...

PS: Mike, if you've got your ears on, I'll not argue about "The Houses of the Holy" v Kashmir here, but indeed that riff is similar to Joe Walsh's in "Life's Been Good", as you wrote. However, Zeppelin wrote their song 5 years of so earlier. (I'm not going back from Joe Walsh's '78 song to the '75 "Physical Graffiti", as I'm pretty sure they wrote it back in '73 or earlier, obviously for the album of that name - as I wrote, it didn't appear there - lack of room, I guess.)

That Joe Walsh song is one that I gotta admit is good greatly due to its lyrics. He was a fun guy. Wiki says that the lyric about his Maserati and 185 mph was "from experience". What a country we had!!

PS: Mr. Hail, I know that, because he wants everyone to like him - besides already known enemies like the Lyin' Press and the Totalitarians - Trump is averse to ever state things explicitly pro-White. I imagine he realizes that the Tubwoman, as compared to the great soldier and leader Andrew Jackson, is nothing.

I'm sure he gets why Andrew Jackson, or some very important White man, should be on the twenty, but he won't state that reason. He'll come up with something else, and he did stall it - it got stalled out for almost a decade.

I have a series of 3 posts on this:

"Tubmania and a cashless economy"


www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=1801

"More on the Tubwoman Twenty"

and

www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=1804

"Final Tubman-thumping post"

Yes, of course that last one has that unique song from the late 1990s. Was it partially rap? (Shudder)

she drinks a lager drink, she drinks a cider drink ..."

PS: I read through those threads, Mr. Hail, so I saw that comment from Mike Tre. I too was shocked, and not in the Captain Renault sense either.

WTF is wrong with that guy? I understand he's a big NeoCon (always has been, per the meme), though he's backed off the "Rah Rah, Ukraine!" blather. I must have missed mention of the Tubwoman and the twenty. BTW, besides the NeoCon stuff, I normally agee with Glenn Reynolds.

Mike Tre, if you happen to be reading, I did a search on the web for "instapundit harriet tubman", found nothing, but then went to his own site and searched for "harriet tubman".

Here's what I see: He's somewhat facetious when writing about this supposedly Libertarian gun-toter. His other bloggers went farther. You may have something better to link us to, but let me paste in this, from 9 years back:

I RECOMMEND GUN-TOTING REPUBLICAN WOMAN HARRIET TUBMAN: A woman will appear on redesigned $10 bill in 2020. Who will it be?

UPDATE: Quin Hillyer: The Decision to Replace Hamilton on the New $10 Bill Is Outrageous and Ignorant. Well, you see, we couldnโ€™t replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill because, although he was a racist genocidaire who defied the Supreme Court, Jackson was also the founder of the modern Democratic Party, which still holds annual fundraising dinners in his name.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Jim Bennett stands up for Hamilton: โ€œI protest the blatant discrimination against Caribbean immigrants signaled by the removal of the only Founder born outside of the Thirteen Colonies.โ€

PS: Yeah, I get your idea on the bargaining, Mr. Hail. Trump fancies he's the best with The Art of the Deal. However, the situation calls for strategic and tactical THINKING, not just deal-making. These guys - hopefully the smart and bolder guys that will be working for Trump this time - have got to twist arms, cajole people, and downright threaten them (not physically... I guess...)

Find a way to put pressure on the Thune cuck so that he knows he damn well better, through twisting arms himself, get Matt Gaetz appointed. You need a stick that's bigger than whatever sticks or carrots have already been used on him by the Deep State, and maybe he's just a UniParty member who really is in Washington for the cocktail parties. Some of these people in Trump's camp have got to know what the real story is. Is the enemy just too strong? Again, get people in the NSA, who can find the goods on nearly ANYBODY, involved.

I get your point on the low-classiness of bargaining in general. It's not the mark of a high-trust society, or a high-trust Congress, haha, that's a good one! Seriously, the Congress of decades ago still had guys who could trust each other, even if on opposite sides of "the aisle" - not all of them, I'm sure. I'll make a big exception on low-class bargaining in American history for used car dealers. What was it that Bai Dien's Daddy did for a living again?

PS

Political prisoners: physical people imprisoned in physical jails, or the like. Or other state-based persecution like seeking to ruin people (like Rudy Giuliani, who absurdly owes $150,000,000 to two Black Georgia election-workers he supposedly "defamed" in 2020). The USA has this kind of thing under the Biden administration. But no system ever has very many of them in absolute number.

More important is a psychological version of a "political prisoner." We have very many of those. And many even otherwise on a "Right."

For example, on the Treasury Department policy (?) of phasing in Harriet Tubman (the escaped slave and professional anti-racism activist) on the $10 or $20 bill. Mike Tre writes this, which surprised me:

"Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has advocated for Tubman to replace Hamilton on the 10 dollar bill for over 10 years.

Point being there are still a lot of people who fancy themselves as conservatives who eat up this egalitarian nonsense and are completed out to lunch on the issue of racial differences."

Will Trump Term Two print Harriet Tubman U.S. banknotes?

I don't know what level of confidence to assign to a guess that Trump would go through with the Harriet Tubman on U.S. Currency idea. It's higher than one wishes it were. At least certainly for late-2010s Trump. Today there is obviously an angry ideological core around him, many of whom would object to the Harriet Tubman Cash idea.

And if Mike Tre is right in what he says, What the heck is Glenn Reynolds thinking?

PS

The floating of Gaetz's name is a political statement, of course.

Trump or the Trump people (whoever is managing this show) are keeping the big-name nominations flowing out at a steady rate, to control the news-cycle. And for Reality-TV-like twists and turns. There is an unescapable "showbiz" element to all the Trump actions.

The (ostensible) nominees' names are being released at far earlier than convention would dictate. And they are as a rule provocative.

It has the hallmarks of Trump-style negotiation. Or bazaar-style bartering -- something traditionally thought low-class, tawdry, by White-Western people. (To the extent White-Western core supporters of Trump are okay with this, it's because they hate the Regime and want to do it damage and humiliate it. Such negativity is understandable but also a classic, proverbial double-edged sword.)

The strategy I refer to: "If you want 10, ask for 50. If they offer 25 in return, make a big fuss and demand 35. If they settle at 30, you've won big. And, screw the other guy for stupidly losing 20 -- paying 30 when we want 10. What a loser!"

As previously mentioned, this has to clear the Senate, now run by a RINO and no friend of Trump named Thune. I would imagine more than a few Trump appointees will die in the Senate confirmation process.
